Apart from the 3rd point. Yes they carry a plastic sheet with all the tariiffs on. However, if you are doing a longer run, the town may not appear on the list and the driver could theoretically overcharge.

There are still rip-off taxis around. Spanish friends from Madrid been ripped off or perhaps "overcharged" would be better.
In Sevilla or Madrid,going the long route is not unusual. I´ve heard countless stories.

Having done a lot of travelling with my job I can ensure you that Spanish taxis are one of the better examples I've come across although definitely not perfect. I've been ripped off or taken the long route in London, Oslo, Amsterdam, Brussels and Madrid.

If you really want to be ripped off or injured then choose one of the unlicensed British cabs in Spain, that will definitely increase your chances.

Thank you for your thoughts, but my head is far from my arse.

My posts 13-15-17-23-26-28 were ok then, it was just the truth in post 20 that got up your nose a bit then ?

Seriously, be sympathetic yourself and think about the consequences before going in an illegal taxi, for your family if not your self.
